My Failed Attempts at Makeup

[Pippin]

Alright, just to warn you, this was a rather rushed job as I was heading out the door to help with a local haunted house (I had thrown together a black cat costuem, so I figured why not try some Cats make-up?), and the pictures are actually taken after the whole ordeal. I really don't have much experience with make-up, so this is my first forray into something that I will hopefully become much better at.

My first attempts are of Misto since he's my favorite (and I have a limited color pallate at the moment). I know the eyebrows aren't quite the right shape, and I didn't include the black on the forehead or the sides as I did not have any sort of wig for the cat costume and thought they might look awkward. Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to try to do it better a little later, possibly if I reprise the cat costume for Halloween. Let me know what you think!

And now, without further ado, some pictures:









My webcam was not working properly so I had my Dad take a couple pics and tried to get some in the mirror for varying expressions. Mine kind of suck, but I hope you can get the general idea.

Oh my goodness, no way! I just tried my own hand at CATS make-up last night and had my mom take pics! Unfortunately I don't have any white face paint to act as a base color; I had to work with what I had (some 30 year-old eye shadow and a Q-tip XD). Awesome job though!

Thanks! And that's awesome! Lol. I'd like to see some pics or your work (I totally understand working with what you've got, lol.). I just bought some new make-up (still your cheap, Wal-Mart halloween kit, due to low fundage) that I might try to do some others with. I'll keep people updated. I'm (slowly) working on a costume too, but so far I only have the tail I made last night and a pair of shoes XD. I may try to make a wig tonight if I can find a place to set up my glue gun, but I'm not too hopeful on the results of that one.

I'm dying to make a wig. I know it'll be hard, but I wanna do one so bad. Have you ever visited Catwoman's Costuming Corner? It's a great place to get tips on making your own costume. Can't wait to see more make-up pics^^

[Pippin]

Yes, I have in fact. That's where I got the 'how to' for the tail, and I'm going to use her advice for the wig as well. It's a very informative site. I'll definitley post more pics of make-up and costumes (hopefully make-up and wig together if this works) when I get it all together.
